Enron PosH-IETELLI0EscER;
In q recent issue Of your excellent
paper appears q quotation from one Of
rny addresses Ia New England as taken
frsm an Eastern paper. The only way
4 can account for such report ts By
the fact that fhsFe seems 10 be ten
denoy, which perhaps you may have
noticed on the part Of some newspapers
nov and then, 20 picture in cslors not
altogether the brightest whatever may
BE- said Of aTy community except their
own.
1 love Western Washington. IL 10
my home and trust Il may continue 20
be for yet many years 20 come. 5orely
I have no motive for picturing the state
Of society on the Pacific Coast in any
other than tke true light, and am CON-
iident that had the whole OF my ad
dresa been published you woaid have
had DO occasion for criticism.
Daring The past few months Il has
been my privilege 10 speak nearly nifty
times before New England audiences,
and I hAve ever delighted 10 tell them
something about the varied resources,
the Delightful climate, the uneqaailed
scenery aud the marked enterprise Of
the eitizsns of Washington Territory.
Many a time intelligent people have
told me that never before had they
knswn anything about our region, and
that they we're greatly surprised 10 learn
that we have 30 many things which
combine 70 insure the future greatness
Of our State. several have promised
me that they would visit Western WASH
lnatan and see something Of the Won
iers Of their own land before Spending
their time and money seeing the sights
Of the old world. The more ] travel In
the East the more thoroughly am con
vinoed that people are only just begin
ninG to know the possibilities Of oar
region and that a. soon AZ they become
aware Of the faots Washington Terrific
" 10 sure 70 feel the thrill Of greater
growth and moro lnpid Development
than ever before.
TIE greatness Of any region, howev-
or, depends upou something more than
Sc climate, Ice scenery, OF tbs wealth OF
lie resources. Ask the histefiaa where
in lies the secret Of she power Of New
ENGLAND In the world 70 day, and be
vail point voc 10 none OF these things
but rather 70 the fact that In the begin
ming days Of her history the fonda
tons Of Christiaa institutions we're
securely laid. lyon thsse two aRen-
clas, the Christian church and the
Christian school, depends also the IN
tare OF cur beautifal region II we are
70 hasd down to future generations the
blessings whieh 70 day are oGF ovn
richest heritage, then We must 10 these
baannin9 days OF ear history lay Ne
eurely the foundations Of such insttta
